What is the effect of changing frame data on relative coordinates?

Changing frame data in a robotic context affects how coordinates are interpreted but does not modify the relative coordinates themselves. When the frame data is updated, the relative coordinates remain intact but are interpreted within the context of the new reference frame.

This means that while the positional data is based on a different origin or orientation due to the frame change, the relative positions of various points or features from each other do not change. They still exist in relation to one another as before; only the reference point or coordinate system used to express those relationships has shifted.

This is crucial in robotics and programming environments where relative positioning is used to maintain the intended motion paths or operations despite alterations in the overall reference frame. Therefore, the function and meaning of relative coordinates stay consistent even as the frame context changes.
